Sustainability

The engine meets Tier 4 Final emission standards, performs the same amount of work, while burning less fuel than the previous model, which means more efficiency, less resources consumption, and fewer CO2 emissions.

Your Cat dealer can help extend service intervals, meaning fewer fluids and disposals, all adding up to lower costs.

Biodiesel and Biodegradable Hydraulic Oil

The M322F has the flexibility of running on either ultra-low-sulfur diesel (ULSD) fuel with 15 ppm of sulfur or less or up to B20 biodiesel fuel blended with ULSD.

Cat BIO HYDO™ Advanced HEES™ reduces the impact on the environment.

Cat Certified Used

This program is a key element in the range of solutions offered by Caterpillar and Cat dealers to help customers achieve growth at the lowest cost while eliminating waste. Used equipment is inspected, guaranteed and ready for work and customers will benefit from a Caterpillar warranty.

Simplicity and Functionality

Steering column adjustment, not only tilting fore/aft but also in height

Hydraulic sensitivity of the machine to make it more or less aggressive

Joystick controls, buttons and thumb wheels

Cameras let you see what’s going on around. The image from the side camera is displayed on an additional wide color screen, offering the full view from the front to the rear of the machine. The rear camera is integrated into the counterweight for enhanced protection.

Large Color Monitor

Easy to read and in local language, the high resolution LCD monitor will keep you aware of any important information. “Quick Access” buttons allow a quick selection of favorite functions. The tool select function lets you preset up to ten different hydraulic attachments for quick tool changes.

The Next Generation

Refinements. From the whole design to the smallest details. Convenient features, new advanced and transparent technologies, not only to reduce emissions but to further improve your daily experience when working with our products.

Easier Than Ever

Work like no other with our wheeled excavators. The F Series generation is made to help you take on the wide variety of the challenges you face every day, more easily and with more pleasure, to keep you on the road to your success.

Smart Technologies

Enjoy the ride: a green indicator confirms the swing and the implements have been automatically locked.

It’s As Easy As That.

Integrated Pin Code – Switch Off and Relax

No need to buy an optional security system to protect your equipment against theft.

The pin code is integrated into the monitor (standard)

Entering the right code allows the engine to start

The Machine Security System (MSS – optional) adds even more protection when needed.

Dig and Go Auto Axle Lock

Presses the pedal for you, reducing the number of actions you need to doLearn More

The machine automatically detects when the service brake and axle need to be locked (like when digging), or unlocked (roading), hence removing the need for the operator to systematically press the pedal.

Brake and axle are released automatically by pressing the travel pedal again.

Hydraulics

When it comes to moving material quickly, you need efficient hydraulics – the type the F Series can deliver.

Efficient Design, Smart and Fast

Simple Design: The new hydraulic valve compartment and routings offer a simple and clean design to help ensure durability. Everything is reachable from ground level.

Smart Main Hydraulics: The system allows reducing the load on the engine when not needed, which translates into lower fuel consumption.

Dedicated Swing Pump: A closed hydraulic circuit is dedicated to the swing only. Having two separate pumps, one for the swing and the other for the other functions allows faster and smoother combined movements.

Control Like No Other

Electronic Pump Control – Controllability is one of the main attributes of Cat excavators, and one of the key contributors to this is the Electronic Pump Control (EPC) that’s designed to improve response time and precision. It puts flow exactly where you need it, when you need it, which means a much smoother operation and greater efficiency.

Adjustable Hydraulic Sensitivity – Allows you to adjust the aggressiveness of the machine according to the application.

Medium pressure function (for tilting buckets or rotating tools), high pressure lines and circuit, hydraulic quick coupler circuit: they all come standard, which allows you to switch from one work tool to another, without the need to add lines and hydraulic circuits.

Undercarriage

Long life with effective heavy duty axles. The transmission is mounted directly on the rear axle for protection and optimum ground clearance. The front axle offers wide oscillating and steering angles. The drive shaft offers longer service intervals (1,000 hours).

Advanced Disc Brake System

Minimizes the rocking effect when working free on wheels. The disc brake system acts directly on the hub instead of the drive shaft to avoid planetary gear backlash.

Joystick Steering

Keep both hands on the joysticks even when simultaneously moving the implements and repositioning the machine, by the use of the slider switch on the right joystick.

New Blade Design

Parallel kinematic to keep the blade parallel to the ground, in every height position

A profile that allows material to roll better and minimizes material packing

SmartBoom

Scraping rock and finishing work is easy and fast. SmartBoom simplifies the task and allows more focus on stick and bucket, while the boom freely goes up and down without using pump flow.

Hammer Work

The front parts automatically follow the hammer while penetrating the rock. Blank shots or excessive force on the hammer are avoided resulting in longer life for the hammer and the machine. Similar advantages with vibratory plate compactors.

Truck Loading

Loading trucks from a bench is more productive and fuel efficient as the return cycle is reduced while the boom down function does not require pump flow.

Ride Control

The ride control system lets you travel faster over rough terrain with improved ride quality for the operator. Accumulators are acting as shock absorbers to dampen the front part motion. It can be activated through a button located on the soft switch panel in the cab.

Work Tool Attachments

If you have multiple tasks to get done, the M322F can help. You can easily expand all the possibilities it offers by utilizing any of the variety of Cat attachments.

Change Jobs Quickly

A quick coupler brings the ability to quickly change attachments and increase your flexibility. The new quick coupler circuit and lines are compatible with the Pin Grabber Coupler and do not require any change or addition to the machine.

Dig, Load, Finish and Compact

A wide range of buckets offers solutions for digging, trenching, loading and finishing works. The addition of a Cat Compactor will introduce your machine to utility work, site prep, road repair and pipeline work.

Move and Handle Material

Choose from one of three different thumb styles to work with your bucket and you have the instant ability to move and handle brush, rocks and debris.

Hammering Works

Our hammers include a buffer to improve your comfort and protect your machine from vibration. Fully enclosed, it is ideal when working in noise regulated areas.

Sort and Load

Grapples bring your machine into waste handling opportunities. Jaws open wide to move volumes, yet are nimble enough to pull a single copper wire out of a pile. Their 360° rotation capability allows you to place the grapple where you want it without moving the machine.

Scrap and Recycle

Shears also have the ability to rotate 360°. A pulverizer allows you to crush and reduce concrete.

Job Site Confidence

From the operators seat, visual and audible indicators help assure that the attachment is coupled. Your Cat excavator hydraulics, mechanisms inside the coupler, and digging forces all work together to assure the attachment stays engaged. The Cat Pin Grabber coupler is the secure way to decrease downtime by allowing quick attachment change and increase job site flexibility.

Power Match

Match your Cat hydraulic attachments to your Cat machine, and get the most out of the standard, built-in software. Attachment changes have never been easier!

Serviceability

You can reach routine maintenance items like fuel and engine oil filters and fluid taps at ground level while fuel and DEF tanks with engine air filter are accessible from the safety of the slip-resistant new service platform. Compartments feature wide composite service doors, designed to be more resistant to shocks, which all include gas struts to facilitate the opening. Components are now gathered in specific dedicated compartments, like the special electrical compartments.

A Smart Design for Any Temperature

The side-by-side and axial fan design allows greater cooling performance. The system is completely separated from the engine compartment to reduce noise and heat and all radiators are gathered in the same compartment while featuring easy-to-clean cores with a tilting device that requires no tool to unlock.

A Fresh Idea

Ventilation inside the cab allows outside air to enter through a fresh air filter. The filter is located on the side of the cab to make it easy to reach, and it is protected by a lockable door that can be opened with the ignition key.

Lube and Fuel Standard Features

An electric lubricator system is an available time-saving standard feature for greasing the whole upper carriage. Greasing points for the undercarriage are kept to a minimum and grouped. An electric refueling pump is also standard. The hose is stored in a dedicated tray, for more cleanliness. Add in the new electric lift pump removing the need to prime the system manually, the standard fuel and water separator and you get a machine that does the fastidious works for you.

Keep it simple.
